[300TDI Brake Upgrade]

The brakes are the same on V8s and tdi engined cars.

make sure the pads and discs are ok, before you start looking at uprating things.

[bar]

My 200 has roll bars.

it leans a lot more without them, I used towball spacers to drop it under the tankguard.

[disco 1 headlight upgrade to td5]

I have a 300 conversion on my 200, not a lot of work, but a good cutting pattern is needed, (I used the panels off a 300)

the early disco 2 headlighs are a straight swap for 300 headlights, but the facelift ones need a LOT of cutting, and chopping the wings, I have seen it done, anything is possible on a landrover.

[D1 body panels?]

ok if I get chance over the holidays will cut them off,

will pm details,

[Winch...]

By the person who imports them,

he tells me the seals etc were altered for one person, so they added them to the line, as its easier to fit the same spec to every item going down the line,

or do you beleive they pull off a few hundred and personally hand build them using unique parts?

[2 '' lift kit Query]

You probably need the longer brake hoses,

try the car with a lift and if you are happy it drives ok, dont bother with castor correction, some need it most dont.

235/85/16 and 265/75/16 fit with a bit of trimming on the rear arches, (camel cut)

[Winch...]

[rear door hinge]

I am about to swap the lower hinge this weekend, the doner door hinges are bolted on to the door and held by what looks like big pop rivets.

[Clutch forks being eaten]

there isnt any adjustment on a disco.

[Winch...]

You must have a bad one?

mine are fine after 2 years on the front of the disco.

[Discovery tyres?]

check with the insurance company, they are 235 as standard, they may not like 205s.

[OT: The inevitable Top Gear thread]

But its better to winch out than, spend hours ripping it up,
